4 Claims. (Cl. 13249) The present invention relates to improvements inladies hair nets and the method for making same.

The principal object of this invention is to provide a novel andimproved construction for ladies hair nets which are made of a length ofweb of netting material of uniform width, affording means to form saidpiece of material into a shape which when distended, will lend itself tothe contour of a coiffure, have a head opening to properly fit as anencirclement of the forehead and back of the head and determine a volumewhich is the major portion of an ellipsoid, as it may be called.

Another object hereof is to provide a novel and improved constructionfor ladies hair nets of the character mentioned which are made of wovennetting material of uniform width including no additional filaments thanhas been usual in the makeup of such netting heretofore, but in soassociating the selvage filaments with the body filaments as to give theselvage filaments the function to serve as means to accomplish forming asemiellipsoidal format into a formation which is the major portion of anellipsoid, as such forms into which said web piece is made to assume,may be termed.

Still another object hereof is to provide a novel and improved hair netof the type set forth and the manner for making same, which isreasonably cheap to accomplish and efiicient in carrying out thepurposes for which they are intended.

Other objects and advantages will become apparent as this disclosureproceeds.

in the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, similarcharacters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Fig. 1 shows a length of netting which will serve to rake a hair net inaccordance with the teachings of this invention.

Fig. 2 is a magnified pictorial view of a fragment of said netting,showing the manner in which its filaments are associated.

Fig. 3 shows said piece of netting material formed cup-shape by makingcertain knots therein as will be explained.

Fig. 4 is a top plan view of Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is a bottom view of Fig. 3, after the selvage filaments includedin said piece of netting material have been shortened.

Fig. 6 is like Fig. 5, with certain knots made therein as will be setforth.

Pig. 7 shows pictorially, the finished hair net; Fig. 6 being a bottomview of Fig. 7.

in the drawings, the numeral designates a woven web of netting; said webbeing of uniform width and formed with a selvage filament along eachlongitudinal edge thereof as indicated by the numerals 16 and 17', andbiased warp and weft filaments; all warps 18 being spaced and all wefts19 being spaced so that the resulting web 15 is a netting. Wherever awarp filament crosses a weft filament, they are knotted in any desiredfashion to be secured to one another and such is indicated at 20.Wherever any of the body filaments are at a selvage filament, theconstruction is such that the association at such points permits freemovement of the selvage filaments 16, 17, with respect to the otherfilaments constituting the web 15, as indicated at 21.

Starting with a length of this netting material suitable for making thehair net 22 to have a desired head size determined by the perimeter ofits mouth23, all the ends of the filaments 16, 17, 18 and 19 at one endof the piece 15, are knotted together as indicated at 24. Likewise, allthe ends of the filaments of the web at the other end thereof, areknotted together as indicated at 25. This forms the netting piece 15into the semiellipsoidal format shown in Fig. 3. The next step to formthe hair net shown in Fig. 7, is to shorten the lengths of each of theselvage filaments 16, 17 by pulling each at a point thereon respectivelybetween the knots 24, 25 to form the respective bights 16 and 1'7 asshown in Fig. 5, until the mouth 23 is of the desired headsize. A knotis now made securing both runs of each of said bights as shown at 16"and 17" respectively. Then the excess material of said bights is cutaway and the hair not shown in Fig. 7 is the result, having the shape ofthe major portion of an ellipsoid whose axes are of a size commensuratewith a coilfured ladys head.

This invention is capable of numerous forms and various applicationswithout departing from the essential features herein disclosed. It istherefore intended and desired that the embodiment and method for makingsame described herein shall be deemed illustrative and not restrictiveand that the patent shall cover all patentable novelty herein set forth;reference being had to the following claims rather than to the specificdescription herein to indicate the scope of this invention.

1 claim:

I. The method of making a hair net of a substantially rectangular pieceof netting web having selvage filaments in slidable relation with itsbody filaments, comprising the steps of securing together all the endsof all the filaments which are along one end of said netting piece,securing together all the ends of all the filaments which are along theother end of said netting piece and shortening the lengths of theselvage filaments.

2. The method of making a hair net of a substantially rectangular pieceof netting web having selvage filaments in slidable relation with itsbody filaments, comprising the steps of tying into a knot all the endsof all the filaments which are along one end of said netting piece,tying into a knot all the ends of all the filaments which are along theother end of said netting piece and shortening the lengths of theselvage elements by pulling each of them intermediate their respectiveends to form a bight in each of them away from the other elements andthen knotting each bight near other filaments.

3. A hair not made of a substantially rectangular piece of netting web;said netting comprising intersecting sets of spaced filaments betweenselvage filaments; said selvage filaments being longitudinally slidablymounted on the other filaments; all ends of all the filamerits which arealong one end of said netting piece, being secured together; all end ofall the filaments which are along the other end of said netting piece,being secured together; said selvage filaments being mounted on all theother filaments and being shorter in length than the length of saidnetting piece, whereby the volume determined by the hair net is themajor part of an ellipsoid.

4. A hair net made of a substantially rectangular piece of netting web;said netting comprising intersecting sets of spaced filaments betweenselvage filaments;

saidselvage filamentsbeing longitudinally slidably' mounted on the otherfilaments; all ends of all the filaments which are along one end of thenetting piece, being tied together in aknot; all ends of, all thefilaments which are" along the other end, of said netting piece, beingtied together ina knot; the length ofthe' selvage filamentsbeing'originallythe length of said netting piece respectively and meanson ea c hselvage filament holding a part thereof in lateral extensionof, said filament, so that the length of each of said selvage, filamentis shorter than it was originally; whereby the volumes determined by thehairnet is the major, part of" an ellipsoid.
